Former Ghana shot-stopper, Joe Carr believes that Jojo Wollacott deserves to be Black Stars first-choice goalkeeper at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

 

Carr, who is a four time Africa Cup of Nations goalkeeper, said the Charlton Athletic safest-pair-of-hands had impressively staked his claim to be first choice ahead of Richard Ofori and any other goalkeeper in the senior national team.

 

In an interview, Joe Carr stated that; "Among the goalkeepers, Jojo Wollacott has kept more matches for the national team in recent times, so I believe he is the right man to be in post for Ghana at the World Cup.

 

"We cannot use any other goalkeeper for try and error sake. In the absence of Wollacott, Richard Ofori should be in the post. I remember Ofori was our number one but he has missed out at the moment. So, ideally, Ofori should serve as the backup goalkeeper to Wollacott," he added.

 

Wollacott is in line to be in Ghana's final squad for the mundial which starts off from 20th, November to December 18th.

 

Ghana will kick-start their World Cup campaign on November 24th against Portugal and will neck-it-down with South Korea and Uruguay to wrap up their group stage fixtures.
